New YoRK, July 5.-The stock market
was dull and quite weak to-day, though the
transactions were principally in half
dozen stocks, the remainder being entirely
uninteresting. There was slim attend
ance at the board this morning, and though
there were 'ome purchasing orders executed,
chiefly foi foreign account, the demand
was soon supplied, when the traders EN-
braced The opportunity TO again raid the
market, ard as they met with no opposi
tion values at the close OF the day were
materlallyiower than this morning.
The higlcr rates for money prevailing In
the forenoon were favorable to the tactics
Of the beas, and when they eased off late
IN the daysome slight improvement was
made. Th, attack upon values did not dis
lodge long stock to any extent, though
Pacific MAJ was sold upon belief that the
Pacific roa,s would be able, under the rul-
ings of theinterstate commission, to make
rates whicl would seriously interfere with
the buslnes OF the company. There was
moderated, firm opening, which was fol-
lowed by factional advances In the general
list.
The maket was almost stagnant until
the buying was exhausted, when heavy
tone overpread the market, and Reading
became comparatively quiet, while more
animatiohwas shown In other stocks. In
the aftert,on decided weakness was devel-
oped. Tie close was dull and heavy gen
orally, al shade above the lowest figures
